MBTA police believe they have caught the man suspected of exposing himself
to teenage girls on the Green Line.
According to police, Jeffrey Berman, 60, was arrested and admitted to
groping a girl at a "T" stop.
Investigators had been working on just a description of the suspect until
recently, when one of the victims recognized him on a train and snapped his picture
with a cell phone camera.
That image helped lead to Berman's capture. Berman was released on Saturday
after his brother posted his bail.
Police are now asking other victim's to come forward. Police say there were
four attacks dating back to the last school year. Each incident happened
between the Government
Center station and the Brigham Circle stop
on the E line.
Berman's neighbors in Newton
told WBZ that he has lived in the neighborhood for four years and has two
children of his own. They say they don't believe the charges against him.
